I'm afraid my old hay condition is beyond its last leg. I've pieced it together for the last two years. The hydraulic motor that drives the entire machine imploded the other night. After talking to the jd parts guy. I'm pretty sure it will cost more to fix than the mower is worth. So I reluctantly started looking for a used mower/conditioner. I've always had rubber conditioning rolls but about half the JD mowers I've looked at have flails instead of rolls. I know what Jd clams the flails will do, but don't know any one that has them. Most of my hay is alfalfa orchard grass mix.
The flails are the same price as the rolls. Does anyone have any firsthand experience with flails? Good, bad, or just different than rolls?
Thanks.
